TokenPostman

A Rails plugin handling login stuff in Controller

Installation

add gem 'token_postman' in the Gemfile and then $ bundle install

Usage

in users_controller.rb

class UsersController < ApplicationController
  include TokenPostman
  login FacebookUser, :with => :facebook_login
end

in config/routes.rb

post '/fb_login' => 'users#facebook_login'

In a nutshell:

After the setup above, the /fb_login api would take

{
  "account": "the-account",
  "validator": "the-validator"
}
  • 200: When success, returns user.as_json
  • 409: When login failed, returns 409
  • 400: Returns 400 if miss parameters

App Login:

Append access_token onto response.

Web Login:

TokenPostman does web login if params[:cookie] exists. When web login, TokenPostman appends access_token on cookies['TOKEN_POSTMAN'], instead of appending it on response.

How it works:

Take the setup above as an example:

TokenPostman create a method facebook_login on the fly. In the created method, TokenPostman takes params[:account] and params[:validator] and pass them into FacebookUser::login(account, validator), which should return a user.

TokenPostman then invokes user#generate_access_token(user#generate_web_access_token for web login) and appends it on response / cookies. It would raise TokenPostman::MethodNotImplementedException if any one of FacebookUser::login, FacebookUser#generate_access_token, FacebookUser#generate_web_access_token is not implemented.

Model Requirement

  • UserClass::login(account, validator): should return a user if account and valiator are matched, return nil if not.

  • UserClass#generate_access_token: should return an access token used by app login

  • UserClass#generate_web_access_token: should return an access for web login
